Any number of other deployers can have run earlier in the deployment phase to produce this metadata from various sources. | | A hybrid approach that moves closer to what is needed in jboss5 would be a plugin into the tomcat deployer that allowed modification of the WebMetaData. This needs to be an optional plugin binding so that we don't have to pulling in the entire webservice stack for a tomcat only config. If the plugin has modifed that data, then the tomcat deployer can write out a modified web.xml and reference it via the alt-dd. | | Perhaps we should delay this bug as part of the jboss 5 integration. Is there a reason for JBWS-1133 to get resolved sooner? How large is the demand? -Jason View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3978649#...
